Chapter 275 Jealousy
Murong Ting didn't speak, but his cool gaze swept over Chen Ge's hand, which was frozen on Kong Wange's arm.
A cold sweat broke out on Chen Ge's back. He instinctively pulled his hand back and took a step back behind Kong Wange.
"B-Boss, do you know this guy?"
Kong Wange's thoughts were in disarray. She nodded haphazardly, her gaze fixed on Murong Ting.
She was exhausted after a long day; her forehead was covered in sweat, and her hair was a bit messy, lying limply against her face.
Several gray marks now marred his fair cheeks, making him look somewhat disheveled, yet his almond-shaped eyes shone brightly.
At this moment, she looked up at the man, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Looking into her doe-like eyes, Murong Ting longed to pull her into his arms and tell her how much he missed her.
But considering there was a glittering "third wheel" next to him, he could only suppress his impulse.
He sighed helplessly, took out an alcohol wipe from his pocket, unwrapped it, and then grabbed her hand without saying a word.
Kong Wange instinctively tried to pull away, but the man's grip was surprisingly strong, as if he were asserting his dominance, pulling her hand back and gently wiping her wound.
"Hiss—" The alcohol was moist, and it stung the wound. Kong Wange couldn't help but make a sound.
Murong Ting's face darkened: "You got all these injuries from an exam, do you really have to push yourself this hard?"
Chen Ge, watching the two's intimate actions, stared wide-eyed like a copper bell.
Kong, how could Boss Kong know such a wealthy man?
Kong Wange said somewhat awkwardly, "It's not that exaggerated, just a few small cuts."
The wound on her hand was from when she was clinging to that crooked tree on the cliff. She hadn't paid much attention to it herself, and she didn't know how this man had such sharp eyesight that he noticed it with just a glance.
Feeling Chen Ge's still intense gaze from behind, Kong Wange coughed lightly and changed the subject, asking, "Why are you here?"
Murong Ting glanced at her, helped her put on a band-aid, and then gently wiped her other hand: "I couldn't get through to your phone all day, so why do you think I came?"
Kong Wange then realized that she hadn't told him about handing over her phone.
Although she grew up with her master and elder brother, they always gave her a lot of space and rarely asked about her personal affairs. So, apart from the children, she rarely had the habit of explaining herself to others wherever she went.
Being thought of like this at this moment, she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart. She just felt a little weak and inexplicably guilty.
But why did she feel guilty?
They weren't originally in a relationship where they needed to share their schedules with each other.
She cleared her throat: "We just finished talking on the phone last night. I'll take the assessment as normal, so what's there to worry about?"
Murong Ting looked up and gave her a long, thoughtful glance.
For some reason, Kong Wange felt even more guilty.
Feeling a bit annoyed, she changed the subject, glancing at the helicopter beside her: "You come if you want, but why be so high-profile? What if someone sees us?"
"Lin Cheng was the pilot, and I sat in the back so no one could see me."
Chen Ge's inner monologue: Ugh, you two are so oblivious to everyone else, and I'm still here? Am I not human???
Kong Wange suddenly realized that since the helicopter could bring Murong Ting up, it could also bring them down. In that case, they would definitely be able to make it in time for the exam deadline!
Her eyes lit up immediately, and she asked, "Murong Ting, how many people can sit in this helicopter?"
Murong Ting glanced at Chen Ge beside him and said naturally, "Two, including me."
“Ah…” Kong Wange frowned: “Only two people can sit here.”
There are three of them now, so one of them will inevitably be unable to sit down...
Chen Ge overheard their conversation clearly. He was a tech enthusiast and had heard of Murong Ting before.
He suddenly remembered the trending topic he had seen on Weibo a few days ago, and thought to himself, "The news on the internet is indeed unreliable. This doesn't seem like a divorced ex-husband at all. This is more affectionate than a first love."
Seeing Kong Wange's predicament, he quickly said, "Boss Kong, you should quickly talk to your ex-boyfriend... uh..."
Ex-husband?
husband?
Boy friend?
Chen Ge was at a loss, unsure of how to address Murong Ting.
After a moment, her eyes lit up: "Uh...you, you and your ex-husband can go first."
Murong Ting: ? ? ?
This feud is now officially established.
"That won't do!" Kong Wange was focused on the assessment and didn't pay much attention to Chen Ge's address, so she directly refused.
"N-nothing," Chen Ge chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "At worst, I won't get into the experimental class. It won't interfere with my studies. It's the same wherever I am."
Kong Wange felt terrible. Shen Ge was kidnapped because of her, and if he didn't get into the experimental class because of it, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
She turned to look at Murong Ting and said thoughtfully, "Why don't you catch the next bus and have Lin Cheng take us down the mountain first?"
Murong Ting raised an eyebrow: "Wanwan, I'm here to see you, not to do charity."
This man is indeed difficult to deal with; Kong Wange's expression was conflicted.
With a blush, Chen Ge said sensibly, "Ex-ex-husband, don't be embarrassed. You, you take the big boss and go first. You really don't need to worry about me."
Forget it!
Murong Ting was furious, but he changed the subject and said, "However, I suddenly thought of a way."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wange and Shen Ge both immediately looked at him.
He tapped his finger lightly and said to Shen Ge, "If you don't mind, you might want to try that."
He pointed to the soft ladder not far from the helicopter.
Chen Ge exclaimed in horror, "Are you...are you serious?"
Murong Ting shrugged: "Being disqualified from the exam would be embarrassing for the whole college. Sit on either of those seats, it's one or the other."
Kong Wange frowned: "Murong Ting, this is too dangerous. What if something unexpected happens..."
Murong Ting nodded: "Wanwan is right, so I don't recommend it to you..."
"I'll go!" Chen Ge suddenly spoke up, gritting his teeth, "I'll just hold onto that and head down the mountain. It's not far anyway, just a minute's time. You guys fly lower, I'm not scared!"
Murong Ting and Kong Wange both fell silent.
Kong Wange said, "Xiao Ge, are you sure you want to go down there with that? It's really a bit dangerous..."
"N-nothing, boss, don't worry about me, I'm fine!"
After Chen Ge finished speaking, he ran to the soft cloud ladder and started to tug and pull at it, beginning to cultivate their relationship.
Kong Wange wanted to say something, but Murong Ting pulled her close: "He's an adult now, a real man, there's no need to worry. I'll put a safety rope around his waist later, and I'll make sure he's okay even if he slips out of his hands."
Hearing Murong Ting say that, Kong Wange felt a little relieved. She glanced at the time and there were less than ten minutes left until the end of the assessment.
She urged Murong Ting, "Then let's get ready and hurry up. I still need to go to the mountainside across the way to get something. If we're any later, we'll be too late."
Murong Ting unzipped his jacket and pulled out a peach wood box from inside his clothes: "You want this, right?"
Kong Wange looked surprised: "How did this century-old ginseng end up with you?"
